BENGALURU, India, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fyle, the leader in intelligent expense management, today announced the industry’s first AI-powered expense management solution for email, allowing users to automatically report expenses from emailed receipts with one click directly from Google G Suite and Microsoft Office 365. The new Google Chrome extension and G Suite Add ons, and the G Suite mobile addon enables automatic tracking to identify expenses and create reports directly from the Gmail inbox, whether on mobile or desktop devices.
“Challenged by an average expense reporting rate that could take months, we identified Fyle when we were looking to find a solution that would help us deliver an employee experience on par with the rest of our digitized employee services,” said Yukari Hoarau, Administration Lead, Innovation Core SEI. “Since enabling expense submissions directly from the user inbox, we’re seeing employees turn their expense reports around in just a few days. We pride ourselves in how we treat and support our employees, and with Fyle, we’ve now managed to eliminate a previously tedious task while helping productivity at the same time.”
Employee reimbursement is the second largest expense for companies, yet little to no innovation has taken place in the past two decades when it comes to expense management technology. Today, a significant portion of business spend happens online. Whether it’s transportation receipts or a software subscription invoice, email has become the default storer of receipts. Replacing manual expense reporting such as receipt-scanning apps or extensions with web-clippers for taking screenshots of an email, Fyle's AI-powered apps like the Chrome extension and email add-ons provide an industry-first solution for expense reporting and real-time policy compliance within G Suite and Microsoft Office 365.
Fyle’s Gmail add-on and extension sits securely inside the email inbox and helps create expense entries without ever leaving the inbox. Fyle extracts relevant data from the attached receipt in the message and auto-fills information for reporting the expense. Details of the expense such as currency, amount and merchant are automatically populated from the receipt, which is automatically attached to the expense as soon as it’s submitted.
“We built this company to take up arms against the deeply fractured user experience of expense reporting,” said Yash Madhusudan, CEO, and co-founder of Fyle. “Today’s Gmail add-on is another step in our quest to use AI to eliminate manual tasks and bring expense management into the 21st-century suite of business solutions along with other commonly used productivity solutions like Slack, Zoom, and QuickBooks. While there are multiple add-ons for CRM, invoicing and task-tracking, we’re excited to be the first to provide a Gmail extension and add-on for expense reporting.”
